Featured Wine

#1 Grown Grape

Cabernet
Sauvignon

The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be full-bodied wines with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine’s aging potential. In cooler climates, Cabernet Sauvignon tends to produce wines with blackcurrant notes that can be accompanied by green bell pepper notes, mint, and cedar which will all become more pronounced as the wine ages. In more moderate climates the black currant notes are often seen with black cherry and black olive notes while in very hot climates the currant flavors can veer towards the over-ripe and “jammy” side. 

Taste

Full-bodied with loads of flavors. It tops the list of robust red varietals, carrying some of the lushest, thickest sips that will coat most of the mouth and linger. Many describe cabernet sauvignon’s body as unctuous, gravelly, rich, and deep.

Pairings

Our Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with all of our charcuterie boards.  We always have one on tap and also carry many other bottles as well.  

Stop in to try one of our Cabernets today. 

"Mary Kate's stands for great wine and good times"

"My favorite part of visiting is knowing I will be traveling the world in a glass of wine while staying seated in a warm, comfortable atmosphere."​

"Amazing wine selection! Wines by a flight, on tap, by the glass and bottle. Wonderful charcuterie boards, sweet or savory. Great decor and ambience! The bartenders really know their wines and help you make the best selections. Owners Katie and John do it right!! A must experience on Main street in downtown Eagle River!!"

"Nice place! Very classy but relaxing. Huge selection of wine and priced right. People are very friendly and helpful with a good knowledge of wine! Parking is good on wall street and around the corner. Will go back as often as I can."

Events

We hold wine events on the first Tuesday of the month.  At these events, we sample great wines, enjoy snack pairings, good conversation, and wine education.

France Day #5 part 2 - we had a private tour of the area first stopping at the church of the Montessori of Dom Perignon who is not the founder of Champagne but aided in its beginnings. Then we visited a house and wine maker which was very interesting. The book shown is from the 1770’s and shows what plot the wines we were drinking came from. (Stay tuned for an upcoming tap talk to learn more). Then onto another winery before ending our day. We saw caves, bottles and more bottles, vines that need pruning, learned about riddling, cuvées, disgorging, and aging. We can’t wait to share what we have learned. Onto Chablis next 😍🥂#wine #champagne @champagneveuvemaitregeoffroy #lovechampagne ... See MoreSee Less

France Day #4 - Taittinger Visit which was amazing. 2 million bottles in the caves we were in. Carvings in the walls of the caves from wartime. Beautiful experience. @uber ride home not so much. Snow and ice, our driver turned around in his Tesla to get another car. Then went in the ditch and left us to walk 8 miles. Luckily a couple picked us up and gave us a ride. #wine #winewithfriends #taittinger #winebar ... See MoreSee Less
